KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA: One need not worry if one has not done anything wrong, said MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

Referring to the nude pictures of Selangor executive council member Elizabeth Wong, Ong said not everything was linked to a political agenda.

When met at Parliament yesterday, the Transport Minister said he had only heard about the pictures and did not know the details.

Wanita MCA meanwhile, slammed the detestable acts of using women as sexual objects; at the outright invasion of women's privacy and that it was a crime to take unauthorised pictures of a person's body parts.

Movement chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said the party empathised with the developments surrounding Wong's private life.

"We condemn the actions because taking photographs of someone's body parts without his or her consent, or knowledge, is against the law and punishable under Act 574 of the Penal Code.

"Secondly, the posting of such materials in the public sphere also constitutes a violation under the same Act," Chew said in a statement yesterday.

Anyone who circulates, distributes or passes on such photographs should also be condemned as these actions are tantamount to propagating pornography.

Chew urged the Government to strictly enforce the Act so that such "detestable" behaviour would be deterred.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen urged the police to take quick action.

She was glad that Wong had lodged a police report if the photographs had been taken without her consent.

"Anyone, men or women, regardless of the political background, should lodge a police report with such gross infringement of privacy," said the MCA vice-president at the Parliament lobby yesterday.

Health Minister and MCA vice-president Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said spreading such pornography was not part of local culture.

"We don't know what is the political reason. I can't make further comment because I don't know the full details.

"This is not ethical and has invaded a person's privacy," he added.
